Adam Benmakhlouf’s soundmaking workshops invite you to make and record noises from objects, the environment and musical instruments (no prior experience needed).

Animation Workshop, Saturday 24 August, 12-4pm

Tickets: £1, No need to book, just turn up

In this session led by Alice Betts you will explore the EAF’s theme Stories from an uncertain world using stop motion animation, to create your own fantasy world and characters. If you have one, bring a smart phone!

Organised by Edinburgh Art Festival, this evening begins with an exploration of the exhibitions at Scottish National Portrait Gallery, before continuing on to Travelling Gallery, and finishing with performances at ESW. (Art Late events are taking place on 1, 8, 15 and 22 August – see EAF Website).

Artist Caroline Achaintre will talk about her art practice including the new work she has made for ESW’s Courtyard. Achaintre is known for her sculptures in ceramic and metal as well as her drawings, prints, watercolours and fabric pieces often in the form of tufted rugs. Her work brings together abstraction, figuration, humour and materiality, with the individual sculptures often becoming ‘characters’ which evoke their own narrative connections.
